The Mediterranean Diet and the Immune System: What Are the Potential Effects?

This webinar took place on Thursday, May 4, 2023, from 2-3 p.m. ET.
The immune system is composed of different cells, tissues, and organs, including the intestinal microbiome, where 70-80% of immune cells are present.1 What’s more, the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and the immune system is complicated and the interactions between the two are vast. This has created excitement around the understanding of and health potential for nutrition and diet to impact the immune system.
Multiple approaches to assessing the relationship between the microbiome and immunity have been undertaken, including examining the effect of dietary patterns. The dietary pattern that has received the most accolades for its inverse relationship with risk of acquiring disease is the Mediterranean Diet (MD).
On Thursday, May 4, 2023, from 2-3 p.m. ET, join Christine Randazzo Kirschner, MS, RD, CDN, for a complimentary webinar that will dive into the immune-protective effects of the Mediterranean Diet. Increase your awareness and counsel clients with confidence about the Med Diet’s ability to help lower the risk of developing diseases like CVD, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and even some types of cancers.
